Hi !

We are Fred & Anna.

I'm a musician. I work for artistic groups, for theater shows, for musical shows, I write, play, record music...
I like cooking as well. And I really like hosting friends...

Anna is Doctor in Art History, specialized in "Perception on Venetian School of Painting by French in 19th century"
A few years ago, she discovered Flamenco which is now a real passion!
She also likes cooking... She's a very very good cake maker!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We've already hosted a few people at home, and had very good times with everyone! We're so much in hosting again and helping travelers in Bordeaux, or meet people anywhere we go...

We've hosted several travelers since july 2010 at home. Great experience! Hope to host others soon!
And I had the great chance to be hosted in New York, and in Québec City, Canada. During this trip to North America, I've met several people through the CS forums of Montreal and Québec!
CS is so much an interesting traveling tool!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We must be very "common" people... We haven't done anything really amazing... Each day is amazing enough so, maybe we don't need to do anything much more amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

Fred can teach (and learn however) music, computer, cooking, ...
Anna can teach (and learn too...) Flamenco, Pastry, date a Painting from the clothes wore by the characters, date a monument from architectural details... So much that could save your life!

I like hosting foreigners to improve my English, and learn some words in German...
